Rep: Public Option would finish job health insurers couldn't

From YT submitter: Republican Congressman Olson (R-TX) tells the townhall about a mother who was turned away by the free market doctors for her unborn child's heart defect. She was denied by the free market doctors but persisted and was able to find a specialized doctor and got a very delicate operation and a heart transplant 17 days after he was born. Olson then claims that the public option would have denied him the needed health care and he would have died! After being challenged he abruptly ended the discussion. Watch as he is challenged, and clueless as to what to say.

He got what he had coming to him. This nonsense was completely unrelated to a public plan then he hits you with it out of left field.

Note the woman w/ red hair nodding vigorously like she understands what he's talking about though. So many idiots out there.

People's opinions are based on emotion and not logic. Sadly this applies to virtually everyone, without exception, for the majority of the time. The people in this room are just another illustration. They see a highly emotional story of someone nearly dying and then people on both sides see only how it supports their own position.

The sheeple mostly nod and agree that the big bad government would've killed this baby, as Olson intends. That someone points out the logically obvious fact that it was the current non-government option that already truly did sentence the baby death is entirely ignored by the audience. The audience does not even bother with any form of defense though, the emotional impact was strong enough that anybody who missed the 'point' is simply dismissed by them as crazy and not even needing to be dignified with a response or consideration.

Every day just confirms more and more that people are stupid.
